I’m resolved to it.
It took a while, but I’ve come to accept it, now.
I didn't want to at first, but now I can handle it
with a smile
Yet, I still wince at the thought

My Thoughts •••
And welcome to them
By JOANNE SPAHR
Assistant Editor
There I was, loving Aunt Joanne, just returning
from taking her adorable nephew for an
educational walk to the barn, only to be slapped in
the face with the awful truth.
The scene went something like this:
Joanne: Well, Jeremy, tell Grandma what you
saw in the barn
Jeremy: (In endearing first word hsp) Cows
(Laughter and giggles from pleased Grandma
and Aunt)
Joanne - Jeremy, tell Grandma who took you to
see the cows
Jeremy (Dead silence)
(Grandma and Aunt look at each other puzzled )
Joanne (In attempt to get cute, adorable
nephew to reward her by saying her name.)
Jeremy, tell Grandma who took you to see the
cows.
Jeremy. (No answer.)
Joanne - (More firmly, frantically trying to get
beloved child to utter the word “aunt ”) Jeremy,
what am I 7
Jeremy (With light of recognition in his little
blue eyes.) Cow.
Joanne - (Chuckling from child’s error) No,
Jeremy, what am I 7
Jeremy (Sticking to his guns) Cow
Joanne; (This time pleading with hurt in voice)
Jeremy l
have a
nice weekend...
Jeremy: (Looking aunt straight in the eye and
saying firmly, almost viciously) Cow.
Joanne; Jeremy, I’m not a cow!
Jeremy: (Matter-of-factly, ending the converse
tion once and for all) Cow.
Well, there it was. Jeremy thought I was a cow
Hurt, I began thinking about a so-called compli
ment I’d received a few weeks earlier
After a pleasant conversation with a dairy
farmer, that dairyman turned to me as he parted
and said, “I’m going to name my next heifer calf
Joanne ”
At the time I took it as a compliment. Now, |
didn’t know.
Then I got cheerful At least, I realized, if there's
a cow named Joanne, there’s hope that I can still
get my nephew to say my name
